Abstract

We study a very special class of TJˉT\bar{J} deformations of conformal field theories in two dimensions. While the deformations break the Lorentz symmetry, they preserve the twisted Lorentz symmetry. The resulting theory has right-moving Virasoro as well as left-moving translation and left-moving (chiral) scale symmetry without left-moving special conformal symmetry (nor left-moving Virasoro symmetry). As in the original TJˉT\bar{J} deformations, they may be regarded as an operator dependent non-local change of coordinates. We show concrete examples based on worldsheet string theory and discuss how the non-unitary nature enables us to circumvent various no-go theorems.
